CITY OF MALOLOS — In a remarkable display of exemplary governance and investment facilitation, Bulacan has been conferred with the Gawad Bayanihan sa Pamumuhunan Award recently at the Ceremonial Hall of Malacañang Palace.
The ceremony was attended by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., Local Government Secretary Jonvic Remulla, Trade and Industry Secretary Maria Cristina Aldeguer-Roque, and SAP Secretary Frederick Go.
Bulacan's recognition stems from its outstanding efforts in advancing investments as outlined in Executive Order 18, which mandates the establishment of Green Lanes for Strategic Investments.
In line with the theme "Making it Happen with a Whole-of-Nation Strategy," this initiative seeks to streamline processes and create a business-friendly environment that propels the province into the forefront of economic development.
The province's initiative to implement Green Lanes has significantly reduced bureaucratic bottlenecks, attracted potential investors and enhanced the province's competitiveness.
